SANTA BARBARA, Calif, MARIBOR, Slovenia and LONDON, United Kingdom, February 3, 2011 – Slovenia-based Optisis d.o.o. has announced that it is placing Occam Networks’ technologies at the heart of its broadband offering throughout the Central and Eastern European region.
Occam Networks®, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCNW) is a leading broadband access supplier offering multi-service access platform (MSAP) solutions based on pure packet technologies. Its ONT and OLT fibre technologies provide a perfect core offering for Optisis in bringing open access networks to Slovenia and the Adriatic countries including Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania and Hungary.
Optisis specialises in the development and marketing of optical access systems and is one of the leading suppliers of optical networking equipment for cable operators and in the implementation of optical systems in Central and Eastern Europe. The company is now developing its strategy around Occam's wide range of Gigabit Ethernet and GPON optical line terminals (OLTs) and DSL products from its award-winning BLC 6000 MSAP.
“Optisis works largely in the alternative market with smaller operators and cable TV companies,” says Bojan Bozic, Technical Director and Chief Technology Officer at Optisis. “We are also working on open access networks for organisations such as city networks and power companies and here we find particularly good cooperation with Occam. We are trying to build our own brand as the key solution provider in these types of network and Occam’s solutions are very much a core part of that.”
Optisis particularly values the fact that the Occam equipment can be installed with relatively low subscriber numbers and yet be expanded in the field easily and quickly. The company already has some 70 open access opportunities throughout the region, all of which are ideal for the Occam-based solutions the company is offering.
OPTISIS has a wide range of products which include passive equipment for CATV networks (cables, connectors, splitters), passive and active equipment for optical networks (fiber optical cables with accessories, CPE, optical switches), active equipment for internet service providers and enterprises (high performance routers, switches, firewalls) and specialized energy cables (industrial cables, flex cables). The company has also recently opened a local company in Austria to meet the increased demand in the region.
"In the first year of working together Optisis has proved itself to be an energetic and innovative partner,” said Russ Sharer, VP of Marketing at Occam Networks. "We are delighted that they are already expanding their offering and have seen the value of a clear core offering based on Occam’s technologies. This approach will offer the Adriatic region world-class FTTP technology with high quality systems integration and service delivery.”
